    Goodness me James, I had to check the calendar I thought it was April 1st 😅 All those times we thought that the gas man was coming and now he has actually been 🎉🎉🎉🎉

    WOOHOO! YaY for hot water!!!
    You can always put a small mirror on the wall across from the boiler too, so if someone else needs to use it they can see the knobs and screen.
    Cheers to hot showers and an oven! :)

      Re the screws a confident tap with a hammer and they snap just below the surface of the wood

    I remember the hard work it took on my boat just to make it a home but when I finally had hot water, my god I smiled. Well done James x

    Nice to see you sorting out Sloe patrol, sometimes doing lots of small jobs gives you a lot more satisfaction than completing 1 large job

    Bloody hell, James. I don't know how you managed without hot water for over two years. Sooner you than me.
    Anyway, it's done.
    Hope you have a great couple of weeks away.
    All the best, mate.

  • @christinew9310

    Just a thought James. How about putting a tiltable mirror on the wall opposite the boiler so you can see the reflection of the control knobs? Love your energy and me and him indoors can't wait you to see how narrowboat 59 turns out.

    Hot water is the best, we lived in a old caravan in the 1970s, no hot water, all heated with a kettle, them moving to the house. Even 45 years later hot water is the best thing. Take care.

    Not camera trickery…..beachside you know someone will accuse you of not really having hot water 💧 🤣😂😅 I am glad you will be able to use the oven for purposes other then storing the instructions. Sloe Patrol looking good. Good work James . I think you will gets things done a lot quicker on Project 58 also!

    Are you showing your boat this year? A guest speaker? I’m nosy, lol 😂.
    I’m so happy you can now take a warm shower and bake bread!
    Thank you 🙏

    Only a thought James, and it may have been suggested elsewhere, but how about a bit of mirror on the wall( bulkhead?) opposite your boiler to enable you to easily see the controls.
    One query…….when do you sleep?
    Keep up the good work

    Congrats on the hot water install! Sloe Patrol is looking great - there's always a million little projects to complete whether in a boat or a house, aren't there? Also, I find it's somewhat hard to stop working on the NEW and SHINY project, and get back to an older one (yes I'm a knitter....why do you ask?!)

    James do you have a fire extinguisher or fire blanket for your kitchen?

  • @BEAR_UK
    @BEAR_UK Рік тому +2

    Might want to check the manual for the oven. It may need to a vent hole in the surround.

    • @allanxxx8789
      @allanxxx8789 Рік тому

      Yes...I wanted to trim around my oven...But I as told No No... Unless I vented at the rear. Its all about heat build up.
      To much heat trapped can and will distort the oven surround and shelf, causing the oven to shift and pos strain fixings.

  • @davecook3138
    @davecook3138 Рік тому +1

    James, before you finish the trim around the cooker, do you need a ventilation slot at the top for cooling?

  • @chloewilson498

    Hello,
    We’ve just installed this boiler and are having the same problem you had initially on the video with nothing happening when we turn it on! May I ask what you did to fix it and get it firing. Also does the display work without the hot tap being on etc? Thanks so much

    • @TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt
      @TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt  Рік тому

      Ok - mine works all the time BUT not always the first time of asking. Display has never worked for me -
      If I use the hobs or oven it won’t work - it needs max gas pressure and water pressure. At night, if batts can’t give it the full umpf then the boiler won’t fire.
      Take the cover off and keep flicking the switch on the left whilst opening and closing the hot tap until it fires for the first time. That’s how it worked for me but it’s not a guarantee by any stretch
      Hope that helps
      Good luck
      Ps - make sure it’s on a 13KG gas bottle

    • @chloewilson498
      @chloewilson498 Рік тому

      Amazing, thank you! I was worried when I couldn’t get the display to work and the manual isn’t very helpful. Thanks for the top tip I’m going to try that tonight and will see how I get on!

      No problem with hearing James talk. Subs get in the way of things being shown on the video. UA-cam has the option to turn subs on if you're hard of hearing.
